This weekend my former roommate and her boyfriend - who both live in Norway now - journeyed down to Copenhagen to visit me for a few days. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend; the weather was beautiful and the city was full of events and festivities to keep us entertained. Though I've only been here for a little over two weeks, I found myself able to take on the tour guide role (or at least try to!) while showing my friends some of my favorite spots in Copenhagen. We toured the canals, walked up and down Strøget St. (the largest pedestrian-only shopping street in the world), made a visit to Rosenborg castle and stopped in Christiana for a concert series. Naturally, we had to make room for plenty of pastries, snacks and local beers in between. It was a pretty great weekend - here's a few photos from our wanderings around the city:

Coming soon: A trip to Tivoli Gardens, Parliament, Danmark Radio and the Foreign Ministry. Looks like it's going to be a great week of class!
